Every culture's culinary traditions include the concept of 'comfort foods', dishes that are as psychologically beneficial as they are easy to prepare and tasty. Beautifully illustrated, "Easy Japanese Cooking: Noodle Comfort" features more than fifty 'user friendly' recipes compiled by Kentaro Kobayashi that showcase Japanese 'comfort cuisine'. With their ingredient lists and step-by-step preparation instructions, the recipes range from Pan Fried Chicken Soba; Spicy Meat Tan Tan Noodles; and Fedelini with Crab and Cabbage; to Kiyamugi with Pork and Sesame Sauce; Dumpling Soup; and Yakisoba with Ham. Ideal for homemakers wanting to culturally enrich their family meals, "Easy Japanese Cooking: Noodle Comfort" is an ideal addition to their multi-cultural and ethnic cuisine cookbook collections.

I rate this book as a 4 Star, only because I was hoping to learn more about crafting homemade Japanese style Udon soups. In spite of a lack of Udon recipes, I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of different noodle dishes from other Asian countries.

This book hits on an array of noodle based dishes (including some very familiar western based dishes). Overall, all are pretty yummy and leave you with a number of good ideas on where to go with the various noodle types presented.

I absolutely love this book! I got it out of the library, then got my sister a copy for her birthday because we both enjoyed it so much. So far each recipe we have tried has been both delicious and fairly easy to make.

I expected more, there are italian pasta recipes (that I was not looking for) and noodles so complicated to get in my country, that it's a waste of time, it could be said what kind of noodles you are going to get and when it writen "Easy japanese Cooking Noodle confort" and you find Italian pasta and lasagna..... What a pity!! complety wrong, I didn't look for and italian Cook book
